tailettengaJust a bunch of beads made from paper - to be more precise, from toothpaste boxes :D It was 2023, and I suddenly felt like reminiscing about childhood and making colorful beads.
Another old necklace. This one is really, really old. I made it in (probably) 2009, then re-made with better materials in 2020.
The clasp is hidden under that black part which holds the pendants.

Another geometric temari made in 2024.

A mini-set of earrings. For some mysterious reason, I've always associated this pattern with beach balls.
Made in late 2021, when I went crazy about simple memory wire earrings and made several dozen at once.

I've just finished a brand new airy crochet necklace, and I have a pricing question.

This thing took me 3 full days from start to finish. 24 working hours. A great amount of hand-crocheting is involved. I'm good at handmade, and I'm quite sure it isn't realistically possible to make such things any faster. Or any better, for that matter.
Another old necklace, made in 2019.
Initially, I was going to make an airy crochet, but after stringing thought better of it. Don't these transparent green beads look good enough as is?

Another old bracelet, made from a pre-mixed set of Preciosa large beads.
Memory wire is arguably the easiest way to make bracelets: just string all the beads onto the wire and bend its ends.

A tiny beaded box in Huichol style - my first one. I think it's at least ten years old.
As I don't sell anything, it's still in my how-do-I-get-rid-of-this-useless-stuff box :D

All of a sudden, I've just finished a new Huichol-style pendant.
I have so many projects to finish that this new one was indeed a surprise even to myself. Luckily, these things usually can be done from start to finish just in a day or two.

Look what am I doing right now! Biblically accurate Christmas baubles.
The idea isn't mine, but it's quite a few years old, and now I can't trace the source. Besides, I make these from upcycled papier-mâché and not from plastic bases.
